The hatred between Murong Tiangang and Zhao Shan is as deep as the sea. They have a sworn hatred for killing their son. The enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He was more aware of the mission of this mission and the disparity in strength between Dawei and Daqian.
If you have hatred, you can only swallow it.
If you are angry, you can only digest it yourself.
Murong Tiangang knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Reporting to Emperor Qian, my emperor has no intention of messing up the negotiations. It is because of his sincerity that my emperor asked me to go to Luoyang, in order to let me put aside my past hatred. , opening a new chapter for the two countries."
Zhao Shan sneered: "Can you let go of the hatred of killing your son?"
Murong Tiangang said solemnly: "Murong Bo died in Luoyang because he had evil intentions towards the princess. He deserved his death. Murong Yu died on the battlefield because his skills were inferior to others."
"Their deaths are not due to enmity with Da Gan. No wonder Da Gan. What's more, people cannot be resurrected after death. Murong Bo and Murong Yu have been dead for many years. If you continue to dwell on the past, you will not be able to look forward."
"When people live in this world, they must look forward."
"People are like this, and so are the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
Murong Tiangang said respectfully: "This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. Please understand it clearly."
Zhao Shan raised his eyebrows.
Here comes a man who is patient and has a scheming mind.
Murong Tiangang supported Daqian in every aspect, and Zhao Shanzhen could not find any problems.
Zhao Shan couldn't figure out Murong Tiangang's thoughts for the time being, so he stopped probing and said straight to the point: "You represent Tuoba Hong and want to continue the relationship between Da Qian and the Northern Wei Dynasty. You intend to attack Da Qian against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Shusunchang assassinated Yao Qian." , what do you think?"
"The entire responsibility lies with Wei."
Murong Tiangang didn't even struggle at all, and said: "The Wei Dynasty stationed troops in Lulongsai because my emperor was bewitched by Wanyan Ming of the Jin Kingdom and wanted to take advantage of the fire. It is the unilateral responsibility of the Wei Dynasty."
"Uncle Sun Chang assassinated Yao Qian, the prince of Xiliang, with ulterior motives. It was the Wei Dynasty that was sorry for Da Qian."
"What will Emperor Qian do with him? Wei will cooperate unconditionally."
Murong Tiangang said: "I just said that I came to Luoyang on an ice-breaking trip to break the current deadlock and put the relationship between Daqian and Northern Wei on the right track. Please give me a clear lesson from Emperor Qian."
Zhao Shan was even more surprised.
Did the Northern Wei Dynasty give in?
The Northern Wei Dynasty gave up, which was actually a good thing, as it would help Da Qian plan for Xiliang.
During the attack on Xiliang, Zhao Shan also needed a relatively peaceful surrounding.
Zhao Shan thought clearly in an instant and further probed: "First, Tuobahong of the Northern Wei Dynasty intended to attack Daqian, and then Shusunchang intended to kill people. The Northern Wei Dynasty must pay compensation. My conditions are very simple. The Northern Wei Dynasty will compensate Daqian three million taels." Baiyin, can you make the decision?"
"Be able to decide!"
Murong Tiangang replied without hesitation: "Emperor Qian said three million taels of silver, just three million. In addition, on behalf of my emperor, I will submit my credentials to Daqian, profess my vassalage to Daqian, and pay tribute to Daqian every year. Please do it." The emperor gives permission."
As he spoke, Murong Tiangang took out the credential of the Northern Wei Dynasty professing his submission to Da Qian and held it in his hand.
Zhao Shan was even more surprised.
Pay tribute as a vassal!
It was a huge shame for the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it could be described as a loss of power and humiliation of the country. However, the Northern Wei Dynasty did this, obviously hoping to establish the basic relationship between the two countries as early as possible, so as to restrain Daqian.
The Northern Wei Dynasty has already surrendered to Daqian. Are you still embarrassed to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty?
This is a self-protection strategy!
Zhao Shan sneered in his heart.
Tuoba Hong's calculations were ringing, but they were self-righteous. If Zhao Shan wants to provoke a conflict between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Daqian, he can trigger a war by randomly arranging for a few businessmen to be robbed or treated unfairly in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Tuobahong's act of professing vassalage to Daqian could restrain the previous Daqian emperors. Many Daqian emperors in the past dynasties hoped that all nations would come to court, and that neighboring countries would declare themselves vassals and pay tribute.
Zhao Shan had different ideas.
No one should be allowed to snore next to the bed. All the surrounding territory must be taken over, and no vassal state should be established.
Zhao Shan's thoughts on the Northern Wei Dynasty became clearer and clearer, and he continued: "Tuoba Hong is sincere, how can I ignore it? I will accept the Northern Wei Dynasty as a vassal, and I will wait for the Northern Wei Dynasty to send compensation."
Murong Tiangang said: "Please rest assured, Emperor Qian. When I return to the Wei Dynasty, I will immediately send you compensation. This time I went south, I also brought a batch of precious jade articles and a Haidongqing, the most powerful horse in the Wei Dynasty, as tribute." To Qian Huang."
"I accepted it."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Murong Tiangang, you are a smart man. When you go back, tell Tuo Bahong that you can take care of yourself."
Murong Tiangang breathed a sigh of relief: "I will definitely convey this to you."
He changed the topic and continued: "I am going to report to Emperor Qian, but I have two more requests."
Zhao Shan said: "But it doesn't matter."
Murong Tiangang said: "First, Shu Sun Chang has committed a serious crime, and my emperor wants to deal with Shu Sun Chang. Can you ask Emperor Qian to release Shu Sun Chang and hand him over to the Wei Dynasty? Second, I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. , convey the condolences of our Emperor in person."
"That's right!"
Zhao Shan answered again.
Murong Tiangang was even more relieved and immediately presented the tribute items to Zhao Shan before going to fish out Shusunchang.
When Murong Tiangang saw Shusunchang, the bruises on Shusunchang's face had dissipated.
Shusunchang was also surprised that Murong Tiangang came to Luoyang, and asked: "Murong Shangshu, are you the one who came to Luoyang?"
Murong Tiangang said: "Your Majesty has appointed me, so I have to come."
Shusunchang said dejectedly: "It's all because of me that the Wei Dynasty has become passive again. It's all my fault!"
Murong Tiangang consoled him: "Prime Minister Uncle Sun has been released from prison. He will have a good rest and prepare to return to Wei Dynasty with me."
Shusunchang said anxiously: "The condition offered by Zhao Shan is three million taels of silver, otherwise he will go to war with Wei. How will your Majesty respond to this matter?"
Murong Tiangang said: "The Wei Dynasty compensated three million taels of silver, and at the same time declared itself a vassal to Da Qian, and considered itself a vassal. This time I went south and paid tribute to Da Qian."
boom!
Shusunchang's mind seemed to explode.
The whole person was confused, collapsed on the ground, and murmured: "How can the Wei Dynasty live up to its ancestors by professing vassalage to Da Qian? Shame on, shame on! It's all my fault. If I hadn't assassinated Yao Qian, I wouldn't have lost power and humiliated the country like this. .”
Murong Tiangang sighed and noticed Shusunchang's dejected look, and shook his head. Shusunchang could not be blamed for this, it was the general trend.
He is unwilling to lose power and humiliate the country.
He doesn't want to be a vassal either.
But Da Qian's fighting power is before our eyes, and Zhao Shan is completely killing indiscriminately. If he doesn't give in to Zhao Shan now, in the future Zhao Shan's troops will point at Wei, which will be an unbearable price for Wei.
Since he professed his vassalship early, Da Wei is also subordinate to Da Qian, so Zhao Shan can't attack at will, right?
When Murong Tiangang saw Uncle Sun Chang Lao crying with tears, he consoled him: "Prime Minister Uncle Sun, the times have changed with the rise of Da Qian. We have to adapt and get used to it."
Uncle Sun Chang cried extremely sadly.
After a long time, Uncle Sun Chang stood up, rubbed his cheeks and said, "Times have changed, which makes people helpless."
After saying that, he walked straight away.
The back is bleak and the back is hunched, showing indescribable loneliness and dejection.
Murong Tiangang felt sour in his heart. He was also a member of the Wei Dynasty, but Murong Tiangang was more pragmatic and knew better that Da Qian was very powerful, while the Wei Dynasty could only stay humble and act small.
Murong Tiangang did not go to care about his uncle Sun Chang, but turned around and prepared to go to see Tuoba Yanran again.
This time it went very smoothly.
When Murong Tiangang saw Tuoba Yanran, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Murong Tiangang, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Tuoba Yanran didn't have a good impression of Murong Tiangang, she frowned and said: "Murong Shangshu came to Luoyang, what can I do?"
Murong Tiangang said: "I came down to see the princess, just to explain the current situation of the Wei Dynasty. With the rise of the Qian Dynasty, Her Royal Highness the Princess married the Qian Emperor and became his concubine, which is quite stable and comfortable."
"No matter what, the blood of the Tuoba family of the Great Wei flows through the princess."
“It’s something you can’t let go of.”
"I don't force the princess to fight for the interests of the Wei Dynasty. This will make things difficult for you. I just ask the princess to remember that her roots are in the Wei Dynasty."
Murong Tiangang cupped his hands and said: "If the Wei Dynasty disappears, the princess's roots will be completely gone."
"My farewell!"
Murong Tiangang bowed and walked out.
Tuoba Yanran thought quickly in her mind, thinking about what Murong Tiangang said, her eyes became solemn. When Murong Tiangang walked to the door of the main hall, Tuoba Yanran suddenly said: "Murong Shangshu, wait a minute!"
Murong Tiangang's eyes lit up.
He didn't ask Tuoba Yanran for help, but he targeted Tuoba Yanran every word, asking Tuoba Yanran not to forget his roots and his own origin.
This also allows Tuoba Yanran to help.
This is the art of speaking.
Murong Tiangang turned around, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, princess?"
Tuoba Yanran said calmly: "I have remembered your words. However, I have doubts in my heart. When the Wei Dynasty stationed troops in Lulongsai and wanted to take advantage of the situation, did it ever think about my situation? Did it ever think that I would Are you implicated because Wei sent troops?"
brush!
The smile on Murong Tiangang's face froze!
